Chainlink (LINK) is not yet a top 10 cryptocurrencycryptocurrency by market cap, but at this rate, it soon might.
Chainlink today shot up by close to 20% in price and is currently trading for $5.80, eclipsing its previous all-time high of just under $5 that it hit in March of this year.
LINK is still a relatively new coin, having launched in an ICO in September 2017, which raised more than $30 million. Chainlink sold for a mere $0.09 during its pre-sale, and started off its few months trading at around $0.20 per coin. It has since gained more than 2,460% to its price in less than three years.
In late June, LINK came close to breaking its previous all-time high, but fell short. Today, it’s shattered its record.
While it’s unclear what is driving LINK’s surge in price, it may have something to do with the booming DeFi market, of which Chainlink is an integral part.
DeFi tokenstokens are hotter than ever—and just today total locked value across DeFi protocols broke $2 billion (also an all-time high), according to data from DeFi Pulse. And tokens associated with these protocols have each experienced serious gains as of late as well.
DeFi is growing by leaps and bounds, and today, the nascent industry has hit a new milestone. The total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance has doubled to $2 billion in just over three weeks, as measured by DeFi Pulse. The rapid accumulation started on June 15, the same day Compound began distributions of the COMP governance token, allowing community members to control the fate of the decentralized money lending service. It appears the relatively smooth roll out of distributed governanc...
Meanwhile, the rest of the cryptocrypto market today is a mixed bag. Bitcoin and Ethereum are down slightly following a big day for ETH yesterday, while Cardano (ADA) is still riding the high of its Shelley launch, up more than 15% on the day.

The State of Wisconsin Investment Board quietly liquidated its entire $300 million stake in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) sometime during the first quarter of 2025, according to a new 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday. The sale occurred against the backdrop of growing market uncertainty triggered by a wave of U.S. tariffs that rattled global trade and risk assets. Notably, the filing’s cutoff date—March 31—came just two days before the so-called ‘...
Bitcoin has more potential upside than gold, continuing a trend seen in recent months as the largest digital asset by market value has rallied, JP Morgan analysts wrote in a note published Thursday. Analysts noted that Bitcoin has been buoyed by a range of catalysts lately, including growing corporate treasury allocations and legislation, both proposed and enacted, allowing states to invest in the asset. They also pointed to recent acquisitions by Coinbase and Kraken as signs of a maturing futur...
